Thank you Bob! It was a pleasure for the team and we can't wait to see Delve!

In my campaigns I like to use downtime as the moment to have characters talk about the past and bond.

After reading some academic works and re-reading some of the most iconic works I think the best moment is actually during travel.

Travel is meaningful when it's both external and internal.

Lo escucharon primero en el Notis y Dragones de la mano de @elbardodeldyd.role.ar @federicomuller.role.ar y @leonmarcilla.role.ar 💅🥸
Los mantendremos al tanto de TODO lo que se viene!

All this to say, to a big part of the world -and not just Argentina- this is seen as an insult. And a real shame, I was a user of Inkarnate once.

In 1983 the newly birthed democracy upheld its claim on the islands, and since then it has achieved many UN resolutions. The Argentine claim is supported by the whole of Latin America (who want colonial foreign powers out of the continent) and Spain (because Gibraltar is also occupied).

Before the 1982 war there were even plans to hand over the islands, which were deemed unimportant by the UK back then.

In 1982, our murderous dictatorship (which disappeared 30k argentines), in a last-ditch attempt to retain power, reclaimed the islands by force. Then, we lost the war.

The islands were first settled by the French, then bought by Spain. The fledgling Argentina even founded a town and installed a governor. In 1833 they were forcibly taken by the British Empire. The population was removed and UK settlers sent in. Since then, Argentina has never renounced its claim.

Inkarnate, one of the top mapping tools, got away with posting a map of the islands we in Argentina (and Latin America, and Spain) call the Malvinas using their British occupiers' names.

The 250+ comments, almost 99% by people from Argentina and Latam calling them out, didn't matter.

Entrevista a Evan Torner, Académico de los juegos de rol, de LARP y escritor de Immersive Gameplay YouTube video by La Taberna de Rol

Our first international interviewee of the year is Evan Torner. We talked about the way that academia and TTRPG cross paths, and the intersection of game-design and teaching.

You can watch it here (interview in English with a small intro in Spanish)

Tree Rascal print zines with mimic cover art in Will Kirkby's style.

Rascal: Year One zine proofs are here in all their glory. Get some of our best writing on tabletop games in a pocket sized book.

Preorders are still available on morebluerries.shop/rascal.

The X-Card was created because Dave didn’t like the vibe James Mendez Hodes was there when the deep magic was written.

Most of us who play TTRPGs know what an X-Card is--a safety tool for content moderation in game--but do you know how it all started? Turns out, it was because a guy named Dave didn't like the vibe.

@inkarnate.com really insensitive, to put it mildly.

Why don't you upload a map of the Gulf of Mexico calling it the "Gulf of America" and see how it fares with LatAm and our Mexican brothers?

How about calling Gibraltar British and insulting Spanish sovereignty?

These are the Malvinas 🇦🇷

In Argentina, it was recently discovered that the National Intelligence Plan (a secret document drafted by each administration) has been updated to include spying journalists and public figures that oppose the official discourse. But we don't pay taxes anymore when we buy phones abroad, hey!

Viva la Patria!

I just reached a new academic burnout phase:
(a)"I'm a failure if I do this essay half-assedly"
(b)"I'm a failure if I don't do it and fail this yearly course".
It's probably going to end in a coffee-fueled writing spree, with ocassional bursts of crying.
Extremely humbling, to say the least.

I'm really thankful to the team at @rascalnews.bsky.social for letting me write about what's happening over here, the terrible and the beautiful.

Thank you, @rowanzeoli.bsky.social for your patience and support.

Play, Politics, and Protest in Argentina's Tabletop Industry How Bueno's Aires' actual play scene is organizing against an authoritarian regime.

This is an incredibly important piece for us here at Argentina, which includes the fight that is continuously happening within our country, written by the amazing @federicomuller.role.ar

Go check it out:

Play, Politics, and Protest in Argentina's Tabletop Industry How Bueno's Aires' actual play scene is organizing against an authoritarian regime.

Contributor @federicomuller.role.ar went on the ground in Buenos Aires to report on how the Argentinian actual play scene is organizing against Milei's far-right, anti-queer regime.

"What does a queer tabletop group have to do with Milei and his politics? Everything."

"Nadie se salva solo"
"La brújula anda bien, lo que se rompió es el mundo"
"El Sur es el nuevo Norte"
"Lo viejo funciona, Juan"

Que frases magníficas que rescata y nos deja El Eternauta. Escalofríos.

One of Pope Francis’ “popemobiles” is being transformed into a mobile healthcare unit for children and sent to the Gaza Strip, the Vatican’s official media outlet said on Sunday. cnn.it/3GG2TnN

There's a scene with music from Mercedes Sosa that had me in tears, I will not spoil it yet, but I think it shows the essence of the film and what a collective hero, the role of faith and community, really mean.

Its main star is Ricardo Darín, of "The Secret in their Eyes" fame, the Argentine Academy Award winning film for best foreign film.

But it also showcases a lot of Argentine music and culture. Oh, and one of its most pivotal scenes is just two streets away from our TTRPG club.

Watch The Eternaut on Netflix, a masterpiece of sci-fi centered on the idea that "nobody saves themselves alone" and that the hero is always a collective hero.

The writer of the comic that inspired it was disappeared by the Argentine dictatorship, and the comic itself was banned.

The Rotten Tomatoes score for ‘THE ETERNAUT’ has increased to 93%.

Now streaming on Netflix.
